Hi Thomas,
CHECKLIST A checklist that you are requesting may be difficult to come by. I say this because most, if not all, people who create these types of documents do so from a base of personal experience and knowledge whereby they are unwilling to share. There is also the probably that these documents may be proprietary to the creator's employer. And, as I do not know your level of expertise in this area, basic PWB layout rules knowledge regarding EMC and SI may be learned >from the many very good books and seminars on this subject as another member has already pointed out. So, I personally suggest that you either create your own checklist that would be tailored to your, and your employer's, needs and requirements or hire a consultant that's knowledgeable in this area to assist you. CLOSE-FIELD PROBES Unfortunately, there's no predictable correlation of near-field measurement results to the far-field measurement results that would be obtained from an OATS where verification is formalized. Although close-field probes are useful for tracking down emission sources, they cannot and should not be used for any kind of qualitative verification. I hope this helps. Comments anyone?

Where can I find documentations (PDF, links...) with basics PCB rules regarding EMI and SI ?? Witch kind of tests can I set up to verify radiations only with two close field probes ? Is there some referencies (standards, norms...) for close fields levels ? Can I measure them?? Thanks. Thomas K.
